Hello list,
About two months ago (2020-08-26) I described a difference between LMTX
and MkIV in the setting of index registers entries, and more
particularly, in the trimming of text to fit the available width
therein. I have now created a smallish example to demonstrate the problem.
I do notice that the problem is very sensitive to the width settings,
and slight variations in width create different results with both engines.
This ConTeXt input:
\definepapersize [pinched crown quarto]
[width=6.69in,
height=9.61in]
\setuppapersize [pinched crown quarto]
\setuplayout [width=fit,
backspace=1.4in, cutspace=1in,
leftmargin=0.65in, rightmargin=0.65in]
\setupregister [index]
[n=2, balance=no, maxwidth=4cm]
\starttext
\startchapter[title={Index Test}]
\index{Anonymous+Felix quem faciunt aliena pericula cautum}
\index{{Diderot, Denis}+Et des boyaux du dernier prêtre, Serrons le
cou du dernier roi}
\index{{Dunne, Finley Peter}+Thrust ivrybody, but cut th’ ca-ards}
\index{Eisenhower+Dwight D.+influence … by the military-industrial
complex}
\index{Eisenhower+Dwight D.+plundering, for our own ease and
convenience, the precious resources of tomorrow}
\placeindex
\stopchapter
\stoptext
produces, with MkIV:
and with LMTX:
The example code shows one other instance as well, in the fourth indexed
entry.
Beside looking uglier, this results in a couple more pages for the same
number of index entries.
As I noted in my first description of the problem, this may not be
unique to register processing, and perhaps it is an issue with
limitatetext or doboundtext, or something else entirely.
